Re: [WikimediaMobile] Reading department planning for next quarter

[Pine W]

Thanks Toby.

I like a lot of what I'm seeing as I skim through these plans. A few
examples:

Surfacing POTD and more MP content
More support for WP0
Quicksurveys
Wiktionary integration

Question: did the community concerns about Gather get resolved?

Thanks,

Pine

Re: [WikimediaMobile] Reading department planning for next quarter

[Toby Negrin]

Thanks Pine -- the team appreciates public discussion on our plans!

1. Budgeting: You can see how we map strategic goals against the teams from
the Roadmap document above and then refer to the annual plan docs to get an
idea of relative investment. A couple of caveats -- sometimes the
activities don't totally matchup with the teams; for example some folks
from Android are working on services. Also, while we have general metrics
for the various strategic goals, we are still working on more specific
metrics and targets so we can be clearer on expected and actual impact for
investments. (It's a good question and probably something we should be more
specific about moving forward)

2. Mobile Editing: We work closely with the Editing team and they are
investigating mobile editing features for the following quarters. I'm
afraid I don't have the goals URL handy but they should be posting shortly.
However, we realize that editors are also readers and we will also
opportunistically identify activities that help editors (user profiles on
mobile for example).

Hi Moushira,

Thank you for these updates. It's great to see a team pushing out their
goals for the next quarter for public review.

Two questions:

1. How are budgets / resourcing aligned with the tasks shown here?
2. Are there also improvements planned for mobile web and mobile app
*editing* for Q3 and Q4?

Thanks!

Pine
